How is your EU3 Game going?

Even though its not EU3 and I'm too lazy to find the Paradox or Game Thread, Crusader Kings II is one of the best if not the best Paradox games so far.

Completely bugged, while i was taking a look at it...
"Golden Horde converts"
Result of the event :
"Kaiser X von Habsburg of the HRE converts to the orthodox faith" (that is me)


Not to say about how i got most mongol generals when they came...

But yeah, it's cool, but needs serious bug-fixing and balancing... (Damn Duchies inside the HRE blobbing, Brunswick is going to end up controlling entire North Germany :()
 
So, I've played another couple decades, to 1600. The Ottomans are scary powerful, controlling most of north Africa thanks to inheriting Tripoli, trouncing the Mamluks again, and taking Portugal's remaining north African territories after the latter impoloded. I had the misfortune of becoming the leader of a personal union with Portugal around 1597, after their leader died with no heir. They had just gone bankrupt and were at war with Spain, Austria, and a few other countries, which fortunately didn't declare war on me. I hurridly insulted them, and my queen conveniently died before the Ottomans declared war on Portugal, endeding the personal union. Usually a personal union is a good thing, but when it's with everyone's favorite hapless punching bag, it isn't. :lol: Portugal was so weak that even the Inca successfully rebelled against them.

The other major event was a French implosion. They got in a big war with Bohemia, at the time the most powerful country in the world (with France close behind). They were losing ground in the south, but I think they sold out way too much. Now France is a checkerboard of states, all allied with Bohemia.

Pisa continues their colonization in America.

Currently, the ten largest armies are:

1. Ottomans
2. Bohemia
3. France
4. Ming
5. Austria
6. Hindustan (2nd largest number of Big Ships, to Britain)
7. Spain
8. Great Britain
9. Sweden (expanding deep into Siberia)
10. The Hansa (took Bohemia's New World colonies)

I have reached orange tech level, and nearly parity with the Ottomans. National Trade Policy was my 4th idea, and boosted my income by 10% all by itself. Poweful.
 
OH MY, THE OTTOMANS!
EPIC!!
You need to post this in the Paradox forums...strange screenshots thread!
Ottomans that big...and in vanilla? that's really awesome!


Also, who are you playing as? Considering you seem to be a christian country with low tech...are you that greek country?
 
I think he mentioned he was Athens, so yeah.
 
The Hansa seem to have a thing for whipping Denmark and then colonizing the New World. Or getting conquered themselves.

I know but it will be awesome, but every game needs a patch at first. I was playing with Bosnia and the Golden Horde (Mongols or whatever) got as fasr as Serbia, and I allied with them :lol:

Hmm. Malaysia doesn't exist, but Sarawak and Sabah are...united? Hmm. Singapore's already independent, so it has to be sometime between 1959 and 1963. Soooo...1/1/1960?

Yeah, they do. It annoys me. That's why I was happy the Danes were doing well in my Iroquois game. Until they conquered me. :(

In this game, the Swedes have proven remarkably inept at warfare, despite their apparent success. They continually run up huge war weariness conquering Sibir and Nogai of all civilizations, and keep losing to the Hansa, too. It was especially bad the most recent time - they had gained Sjaelland and Skåne, and then ceded Halland and some New World territory. :crazyeye: Had they actually tried, I'm sure they would have won long-term.

I am indeed Athens. I'm quite pleased to see a successful Ottomans, too... I just wish it had happened when I wasn't their next-door neighbor. I'd planned to recreate Alexander's empire, but when your next door neighbors have pretty much done that already, it becomes somewhat more difficult.

But it's now the late 1620's, and things have progressed. I opportunistically declared war on the Ottomans when they were embroiled in a war with the Austrians over west Africa, and my Lithuanian allies were more than willing to help out. My superior navy blocked the Bosporus. Meanwhile, the part I had neglected the last time, the north-across-the-Black-Sea crossing, also worked out as the Ottomans and Horde had a truce. So, my one-fifth to one-eight-the-size army was able to win a decisive victory. Lithuania regained two lost provinces, my Wallachian allies gained Silestria, I gained Edirne, and Bosnia gained independence (only to be vassalized again, by Croatia, very quickly). But Ottoman lovers need not fear, the Ottomans defeated the Mamluks twice more, Persia once, annexed Ragusa, and also won their long, bitter war with the Austrians. So they gained more than they lost. Now they appear to be settling the Horde lands, ensuring they can reinforce the northern front next time.

I've gone very Free Subjects and Innovative, as well as Free Market, and have now gained technological equality (and generally, slight superiority) over the Ottomans. West Europe is still more advanced, of course, but they aren't gaining much if at all.

I've also conquered Corfu, and vassalized the Knights. Cyprus is also my vassal, but revolutionaries overthrew my puppet regime, and I'm still rebuilding relations with the new regime. I've gained access to the markets of Hormuz and Kutch, significantly increasing my wealth.

Lithuania has been expanding eastward, as have the Swedes (mostly ineptly). Pisa has conquered Kongo, and the Dutch formed again. They did for the first time around 1420, but Burgundry and France conquered them. They did again in the early 1600's. They picked too many fights with Switzerland and uber-uber-powerful Bohemia, and are currently weak.

France lost another war, leading Castille forming. So I now have Portugal, Galicia, Spain, Aragon, and Castille all in existance, I believe in that order of appearance. But France has started to recover, and has exacted exorbitant sums from the minor French powers for their continued existance. Britain is also picking on the minor French powers, retaking Labourd and threatening to conquer Normandy.

Further east, Brunei is now conquering Vietnam, and Hindustan is facing rebellions due to handling their wars with Chagatai in a similar manner to how Sweden handles theirs with Sibir. I'm wondering if the game doesn's have some difference that makes Russia, Lithuania, Khorasan, and some others fairly decent at colonizing the hordes, and powers that aren't really supposed to like Sweden and Hindustan pretty bad at it. Sure seems like it this game.

Oh, and the Ottomans have the mission, "Conquer southern Greece." They have a regent and tons of war weariness now, but it makes me somewhat nervous. Maybe I should cancel my alliance with Wallachia so that if they declare war, they can't conquer Wallachia and reinforce the front against me.

Why not replace United Republics with something like Lakota? And maybe make Arizona part of Deseret? Maybe a better name for Chicago as well?

The United Republics is meant to be short for "United Republics of the Great Plains". I considered Lakota/Dakota, but it only refers to some of the many Indian groups (or state) in the region.

I could call Chicago "the Great Lakes Republic", but I was going for a sort of city-state name (eg "Roman Republic").
 
:lol: Brilliant. Definitely on my download list. :D
